Rest Day and Adopt-a-Family

Thanks for another great week at ICA! Rest up and enjoy your Sunday!

Community Note: Help us give back this holiday season! We are working through the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund to adopt a family for Christmas!  KADMF advocates for families with seriously ill, severely injured, or physically and cognitively challenged children through information and education.

ICA’s adopted family is a single mom and her one-year-old son, Jaden. Jaden has a life threatening illness which kept him in the hospital for several months after he was born. When Jaden was released from the hospital, they moved into a mother/baby program. They are hoping to move into permanent housing in mid December. The house will have furniture but nothing else. Any help we can give her and her baby will be greatly appreciated!

Jaden’s wish list is:

  • Winter clothes (size 18 mo) – favorite color: Green!
  • Socks (size 3)
  • Baby snow suit (size 18 mo)
  • Baby toys for 12-18 month old

Mom’s wish list is:

  • Walmart and Target gift cards so she can buy crib sheets, blankets, 12 oz bottles, high chair, diapers, baby bath chair, cleaning supplies, towels, wash cloths

We are collecting items through Monday December 10th. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated!! We’re accepting monetary donations, clothes, and toys.

We’ll also use a small portion of the funds to buy a gift card for Armando, who works hard to keep our warehouse and bathrooms clean and in working order! He has a wife and two small children, and we’d like to surprise them with a Christmas card and a gift card as well.

    Great idea, guys! How do you prefer the monetary donations to come in? Cash? Check?

    Either cash or check is fine! We’ll have a collection envelope at the box, and also an orange bin where people can drop any clothes or toys.

      All gifts should be unwrapped.
